In the legacy DaVinci YRGB pipeline, how are color space and gamma settings applied?

• A. Manually per clip and per node
• B. Automatically via a preset
• C. Only on the first clip
• D. They are ignored

Answer: (A)

In the legacy DaVinci YRGB pipeline, color space and gamma aren’t applied automatically across the project. You decide them explicitly for each clip, so Resolve knows how to interpret the incoming footage. Then you can apply further color processing at the node level, using transforms or looks that operate on the clip’s data. This combination—setting the clip’s color space and gamma, and then handling any additional adjustments node by node—gives you precise control over every piece of footage. There’s no automatic preset that applies to all clips in the legacy workflow, and you wouldn’t rely on just the first clip being treated differently. If you skip setting them, the interpretation would be inconsistent, so they’re not ignored by design.
